I am starting to feel a little bad that all of these posts are going in on one day, but I have to take advantage of the time I have. =)

Something is changing in our household.  It isn't a family addition......no big vacations......can you guess?!?!

Riley is starting Preschool!!!  It is hard to believe he is old enough to be in school and spending three hours all by himself away from people he knows.  For the past three years if Riley was not with us he was with family members.  It is such an exciting time.....but I will admit that it is a little hard to let your baby go.  Even if it is only for three hours.

The first day was a huge success and Riley was beyond excited.  He met his teacher, painted, played with play dough, and even had circle time.  Granted it was only for an hour and mom and dad were able to stay, I think it was a good sign for how the year will go.  We start this week with the official first day without us and I am sure that Riley is going to do much better than I will. I promise that I will not cry.....at least until there is no one around to see me.  It is funny how you can be so sad and proud all at the same time. He is growing up to be such a great kid and I am excited for him to be making new friends and learning so much.
